The seventh-ranked Arizona Wildcats women's basketball team will open its conference-only 2020 season with games against three regional rivals, all at McKale Center.
The UA will open its season Nov. 4 against UCLA, host USC two days later and then take on Arizona State on Dec. 10, according to a schedule released Wednesday. The Wildcats will then travel to Colorado and Utah before returning home to face Stanford and Cal β with a showdown against the conference-favorite Cardinal scheduled for Jan. 1. Arizona won last year's game against Stanford in McKale Center, marking the program's first-ever win against a team ranked in the top 5 nationally.
Arizona's 22-game league schedule ends with a Feb. 28 game against Arizona State in Tempe. This year's UA team is expected to be among its most talented ever. Point guard Aari McDonald has been named a preseason AP All-American. The Wildcats have been picked to finish second in the Pac-12 by both the media and coaches.Β
The UA's Pac-12 schedule is here, with home games in ALL CAPS. The Wildcats are still trying to add nonconference foes.
